Sarah Isgur, formerly the top spokeswoman for former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, will now be joining CNN as a political analyst rather than a campaign editor.
It’s been a great vacation but I am back on twitter! And news: I will go to CNN as a Political Analyst instead. Will start next month on air and on line. See y’all soon!

Isgur was initially brought aboard to coordinate coverage of the 2020 campaign despite the fact that all of her experience has been as a political operative, not a journalist.
The hiring announcement garnered significant backlash, forcing the network to defend itself in an internal memo as employees expressed anger at the choice and disappointment that most of them learned of the hiring from news reports. Isgur also has a history of criticizing CNN, once calling it the “Clinton News Network.”
So someone at CNN came to their dog-damned senses?
As if all the Trumpian hacks already on CNN were not enough. To a person, each of them - Lindowski, Caputo etc. - sounds and even looks like a bully from the seventh grade who was good for nothing else.
If CNN had any sense of justice they would have Isgur cleaning the bathrooms.
I thought maybe she’d just become a professional twit.
